Minneapolis Journal: That Dakota
should not now be state is Ms great
piece of injustice as government at
Washington ever committed. Here is a
territory with population OF 100000, q
stable and prosperous community OF
farmers and business men. Why are
they not admitted to- the union? As
every one knows, merely because Dakota
has large republican majority. The
pretext last alleged by the democratic
majority of congress was that the people
OF the territory could not agree as to
whether they wanted to come IN as one
state or as two states. The serritory
ought to be divided. 1t is matter of
kota and OF north Dakota are irreconcila-
Bile. That fact is recognized, and has
been for years, In tho Legislation OF the
territory. There is double set of state
institutions--one for each section. Any
legislation for one section is effected by
means of corresponding legislation for
the other, jnst as ii the two parts were
separate and distinct entities, acciien-
tally joined in government. That is
Just what they are. Division Of the
L tSHlLhOAy nckGly s6ShS W EcCOSutAb lu
law thing already existing in fact.
Further, Dakota as it exists to-day
is altogether too large for one state.
Look at it on the map. 1t extends north
and south about 400 miles and east and
west about $50 miles. The area ia 49,
100 square miles. The average area of
the 38 states now in the union is 60 ,917
square miles. That. too, includes Texas
l kat $50 ZOO H.,
and ITS constitutional provisions for
future division into four states. The
average area OF the other 81 states is only
/ about 55, 600 square miles. So much fol

mission.
But we learn now of new move, and
one that will bear Watching. The
Mormons in Utah are holding consti-

mission of that territory into the union

Lacn,0 0ntion,

L0cni option,
The commissioners Of Yankton county
have for number of days been engaged
in the examination of petitions praying
that the question of license to sell in
toxicating liquors in Yankton county be
submitted to vote at the next general
election. The petitions have been pre-
sented to the board under the pro-
visions of the act "to prohibit the ssle of
Intoxicating liquors by local option
approved March 1lth, 1887. The first
section of that act reads as follows:
Section 1. "Ii o petition signed by of
least one-third of the legal voters Of any
county, AS SHOWN BY THRpRECEDING GEN
aRAn ELECTION, shall be presented to the
county commissioners oi any county, at
least sixty days before the Tuesday
next after the first Monday in Novem
ber. in the year 1887, praying that the
question OF prohibition of the sale of in
toxicating liquors be submitted to "a vote
OF such county, it shall be the duty OF the
board OF county commissioners to order
an election to be held OH the Tuesday
next after the first Monday In Novem-
Der, 1887, at which election the qualified
voters OF such county shall vote upon
the question of prohibiting the sale of
intoxicating liquors in such county, such
election shall be conducted in ail re-
spects as general elections are con-
Quoted"
The board of commissioners in their
official action upon these petitions
have construed the law to require that
one-third of the legal voters who voted
and whose names appear upon the poll
books of the general election in 1886,
shall be signers to the petitions pre-
scented. The language of the law, that
the petition shall be signed by one-third
the V0ters;; AS SHOWN BY THE pREoED-
ING GENERAL ELECTION would
seem to sustain the action
Of the county board in rejecting all
names the petition except those who
voted ana were registered IN the poll
books in November, 1886.
Tt is certainly i'm portant that the COM
missioners should know that the signers
to the petitions are legal voters of the
oounty-thIs might be determined by
the testimony of reputable witnesses
but the legislature did not
provide this method as ascertaining the
petitioners qualifications, and if it had
lit will readily be seen that it would have
been lmpraoticable and involved heay,
expense. The legislature selected I
simpier and the least expensive method
1t required the board OF commissioner
to look back to the las
general election The law says-"H /
petition signed by at least oNE-THIaI
OF THE LEGAL VOTERS of any county, al
Ishown by THE PROCEEDING GENERAL
ELECTION" then the commissioners shall
|eelI the election. The law does not say
that ::'a petition signed by number o
names equal to one-third th,
votes cast at the las
general election" 1t would
therefore appear to be the intent of th'
law that to qualify person to be count
ed as petitioner he must have been /
voter at the last general election, and il
this view the action OF our county boar;
will be generally sustained.

the Unbria the passengers of the latter be
gan to answer with cheers for the Queen
and drowned the cheers for Brien, finish
ing with the song God save the Queen"
Mingled with this came strains of"God save
Ireland" from one or two. The noise made
by both parties rendered it impossible for
the two captains to understand each other.
The tug drifted past, came back and tried
to go near the ship. Captain McMickan, of
the Umbra, refused to allow line to be
cast to the tug or to allow O'Brien to leave
the ship until the Health Officer had board
ed her. When he understood the Health
Officer was on the tug, line was
thrown. Loud calls were then made for
O'Brien. He came TO the side and said I:
"Who wants O'B:ien?" 1--WE all do" was
shouted back in chorus. O'Brien replied (:
"Then l will come if only to protest against

A PHENOMENON EXPLAINED.-All other
reports to the contrary Notwithstanding, no
volcanic eruptions have occurred in South
ern Arizona. On the Sd inst, simultane-
ously with the severe earthquake shocks
experienced great clouds OF smoke appeared
over the peaks OF the Milestone Mountains
south of Benson, and at night the horizon
was brilliantly illuminated by what was
supposed to be volcanic fires. The phenom-
enon continued during the day following the
earthquake, and on the 5th Inst. an explor-
ing party started for the Milestone Noun
talns, for the purpose of investigating the
supposed eruption. They returned on the
7th, and reported that there was no volcanic
eruption, although signs of an upheaval and
mountain slides caused by the earthquake
were abundautly visible, and that the bril-
liant illumination of the sky and the clouds
of smoke which lowered over the noun
tain peaks were caused by forest fires which
thew had traced to the carelessness of some
Mexican rangers who had camped on the
mountain Monday night. This report
effsc:ualIy explodes the volcanic sensation
among the people of Benson. Another
severe shock of earthquake was experienced
at Benson at l:l4 o'clock yesterday after
noon. No damage was done, but the shock
created great CONSERVATION among tie
people.

count of the many years intervening be.
tween the commission ofthe crime and the
trial, and other surrounding circumstances.
The trial occupied two weeks. Soquet was
charged with the murder of his second wife
in June, 1873. His third vile, whom he
married soon afterward, has also been miss

nit rape few days ago on young lady
who was returning home from school. The
negro had been arrested and carried to the
Jail at Williamson, 8 small village on the
Raleigh Air Line Railroad, about fifty
two miles from Rocky Mount, a station on
the Wilmington and Weldon Railroad. A
number of young men living at Rocky
Mount, hearing OF the affair, masked them
selves and forced the engineer Of a material
train to take them to WILLIAMSON. % the
way he party stopped and cut the telegraph
wires. so that they could not be intercepted
or prevented from carrying their object into
execution. The lynchers arrived at vii.

and proceeded at once to the Jail and de
manded the surrender of the prisoner. The
jailor refused to give up his prisoner, when / @
was overpowered by the men and the negro
taken from his cell. He was carried to the
place near Tarboro' where he had made the
unsuccessful attempt to assault his victim.
There he was hanged to tree His body
